A revelatory look at the residences of Adolf Hitler, illuminating
their powerful role in constructing and promoting the dictator's
private persona both within Germany and abroad Adolf Hitler's
makeover from rabble-rouser to statesman coincided with a series of
dramatic home renovations he undertook during the mid-1930s. This
provocative book exposes the dictator's preoccupation with his
private persona, which was shaped by the aesthetic and ideological
management of his domestic architecture. Hitler's bachelor life
stirred rumors, and the Nazi regime relied on the dictator's three
dwellings-the Old Chancellery in Berlin, his apartment in Munich,
and the Berghof, his mountain home on the Obersalzberg-to foster
the myth of the Fuhrer as a morally upstanding and refined man.
Author Despina Stratigakos also reveals the previously untold story
of Hitler's interior designer, Gerdy Troost, through newly
discovered archival sources. At the height of the Third Reich,
media outlets around the world showcased Hitler's homes to
audiences eager for behind-the-scenes stories. After the war,
fascination with Hitler's domestic life continued as soldiers and
journalists searched his dwellings for insights into his
psychology. The book's rich illustrations, many previously
unpublished, offer readers a rare glimpse into the decisions
involved in the making of Hitler's homes and into the sheer power
of the propaganda that influenced how the world saw him.
